Your job is to make it as high as possible by doing the splits. Tap to cause one foot to leave the wall, and tap again to push your character up. Timing is everything in Split Masters, as your character must stay balanced to avoid getting knocked out or falling back down to the ground. The game includes a wide variety of unlockable characters as well.
